On May 31, 2015, the Jacksonville Church of Christ officially added three new elders to join Randy Henderson in the eldership. George Hart, Lee Hicks, and Frankie Len have spent the past two years getting to know people in the congregation.
The four men taught an eight-week Sunday School series on Biblical Eldership that helped everyone understand and feel secure with the process. Douglas Jacoby also came in to speak on the subject, “Fresh Thoughts on Elders.” People shared that they were moved by the appointment of the new elders, saying things like, “We are continuing our journey as a church and starting a new chapter.” Lead evangelist, Jamie Robbins, and executive minister, Paul Trimble, are happy for the help of the new shepherds.
